31

I turned 31 last Friday. I think I am still in denial that I am heading towards 40 faster than I would like to be. It feels just like yesterday that Mitch and I were having a ball in NYC for my bday last year. That will be one of the best times of my life, I am sure of it. This year was definately different. We woke up to Carly puking and having a fever of 101 and so the day just didnt have a good start to it. After that I felt grumpy and tired since we were up much earlier than usual. Mitch and the kids made me breakfast, my fav, my everyday usual...steelcut oats, greek yogurt with berries and an egg.  We went on our morning walk and the girls joined us this time. The weather was overcast and even rained on us a little, which I love rainy weather. We went to lunch at Costa Vida, our favorite spot in town. And then ran some errands. It felt like a regular day but my family and friends made it special, despite my grumpy mood and sick baby. Carly was feeling ok, not her normal self but good enoug for us to go to dinner in Durango. My bestie kept Brynley and Carly for us, since I figured to be on the safe side I didnt want a puking child in such a nice restaurant. Mitch took me, Caleb, Aubrie, Cody and my mom and Phil to East by Southwest. It is so good! The best sushi I have ever had. Dinner was nice and the drive up and back from Durango was nice. There was even a double rainbow on our way up there. Thank you Mitchy for treating us all to dinner, that was nice of you. I am beyond grateful for such amazing friends and family that stopped by to see me and give me presents and sweet cards and all the facebook messages, made my day. I am thankful for the happiness that they bring to me. The best part of my day though was reading the homemade cards that my kids and hubby made me. All of them were perfect and so heartfelt.
Here are some pics from our dinner.
